Figure 1-1: Wireless DAQ system

2 Wireless DAQ System 2 The Wireless DAQ System system should consists of the following parts: A Database An OPC Server A Datalogging System A Monitoring System The Wireless DAQ system needs to be distributed, i.e the Database, the OPC Server, the Datalogging System and the Monitoring System needs to be installed and running on different computers or devices in a network. The practical project work must be seen in context with the theory part that is covered in the course both in the report and the presentation. 2 Network The different modules and software should be installed in a Network. The network should be created by you using Switch/Router, etc. The different Servers (Windows Server 2008/2012) and Clients (Windows 7/8) needed should be created using Virtualization, e.g., VMware. One of the Servers should be configured as Domain Controller with Active Directory (AD) and proper Groups and Users. The Clients (Windows 7/8) should be connected to the Domain. You should also install and configure the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) role on the same Windows Server, this mens the clients will receive dynamic IP adresses from the server. Instead of setting up static IP addresses on the clients, they will receive dynamic IP addresses from the server. 3 Modules Below the requirements for the different modules are listed. 3.1 Database The Database needs to be Microsoft SQL Server (see Figure 3-1). The database should be running on a Windows Server (2008/2012) computer. The database should include tables for storing data from different sensors.

3 Wireless DAQ System 3 Figure 3-1: SQL Server 3.2 OPC The OPC server could be Matrikon OPC Server for Simulation. The OPC server should be used as a link between the Datalogging system and the Database. A OPC Tunneller software can be used to simplify the data communication between the server and clients. Figure 3-2 shows the Matrikon OPC Server for Simulation. Figure 3-2: Matrikon OPC Server It is a little tricky to use OPC in a network because it uses the old COM/DCOM standard which involves some configuration of different settings. A trick would be to use a tunneller software, eg., Cogent DataHub Tunneller software, see Figure 3-3.

4 Wireless DAQ System Datalogging System Figure 3-3: OPC Tunneller Software The Datalogging System should be created with LabVIEW. The Datalogging system should send data to the OPC server, while another system should retrive data from the OPC server and store them into the database. We will use different Wireless DAQ equipment, both ZigBee and Wi- Fi devices. See Figure Monitoring System Figure 3-4: Wireless DAQ Devices The Monitoring System should present the Data from the DAQ system. A Web Services should be used to get data from the SQL Database to the Monitoring System. The Web Service should be installed on a Window Server computer with Internet Information Server (IIS).

5 Wireless DAQ System 5 Step 1: Test the Web Service using the Data Dashboard for LabVIEW, see Figure 3-5 for an example of the Data Dashboard for LabVIEW App. Data Dashboard for LabVIEW can be freely used with ios, Android or Windows 8 devices. Figure 3-5: Data Dashboard for LabVIEW Example Step 2: Develop a Windows 8 Store App for presentation of Data from the DAQ device. See Figure 3-6. Figure 3-6: Windows 8 Store App Example
